hello ! so as you can see, i revamped my blog a little bit. i was inspired by a few of your blogs, i have to say that i adore the simplicity. it allows your posts and photos to be the main focal point. we'll see how long it is until i get bored again.

anyways, the other day i was looking for a decent foundation that wasn't heavy. i have been using my Rimmel Wake me Up foundation daily, and i realized that for 1. it was slightly too dark and 2. it works better as a summer foundation (at least in my opinion). i love that foundation, but i needed something a little bit different.

i have never tried l'oreal foundation or concealer before, and i kept seeing that "Lumi" face products were becoming bigger on the market. and i have to say that i was intrigued. i love the look of a luminescent complexion, it makes your skin look so radiant and healthy. on the first day i wore this, i received SO many compliments on my complexion. they all literally said "your face looks so luminating". this has to be the first time that i have ever been complimented on a foundation before. even my mother saw my make-up done and said "your skin looks like porcelain". i'm thoroughly impressed with these products. especially on days where you wake up early, this foundation/concealer combination makes you appear more awake.

the true match lumi foundation states : "illuminates, unifies and improves the look of skin for a healthy-looking complexion. vitamins C & E" - i have to agree 100%. the formula isn't thick at all, but it still manages to cover imperfections. it has a satin-like finish. my shade is n1-2 neutral. i apply this after moisturizer and a primer with a duo fibre eco tools face brush. it looks flawless and beautiful on the skin.

& the l'oreal magic-lumi concealer doesn't have a description but it brightens the under eye area amazingly. i originally saw this in one of essiebutton's youtube videos, and she raved about it and how well it works. my shade is 862 Light.

and might i add that the rose gold packaging is SO BEAUTIFUL. they look like high end products, without paying the price. they are more expensive for a drug store brand, but in my opinion, they're worth it.

thanks for stopping by today, guys! have you tried any "lumi" makeup products? what did you think?
